No Days today, but join us for a discussion of classic clips! Today's discussion is the prime time special Night Sins. The clips below are the special in its entirety. Watch some or watch all, enjoy, and join the discussion!

Top to bottom one of the best Days episodes ever. Sami seeing John/Marlena on the Titan conference room table--what an epic scene. The first (and possibly last?) time I ever felt bad for Samantha Gene.

I love that the feel of this episode is different. It reminds me of every TV movie I watched in the 90s, lol.

I totally agree. I remember Deidre saying in an interview before this that their goal was to make a special which a non-viewer of Days could follow and enjoy. I think they succeeded! I wish they'd be able to try something like this again now.

Everything about this episode was on point. There wasn't one thing I didn't enjoy even if I wasn't crazy about all the characters at the time. I can remember picking my jaw up from the floor when John and Doc hit that table while Roman was elsewhere occupied and Sami came a lookin. Like someone else, that was one of the few times that I was concerned about and felt bad for Samantha.

JOHN: "Zen. As in Buddhism. It's very complicated, yet it's very simple at the same time. Like the story of the man who wanted to know who Buddha was. So he asked him, 'Are you a god?' And Buddha said, 'No'. So he asked him, 'Are you an angel?' And once again Buddha said 'No'. So he said, 'You must be a saint...' And for the third time Buddha replied, 'No'. So the man said, 'What are you?' And Buddha looked at him and said, 'I am awake!' That's what the word 'Buddha' means...'awake'. The whole thing started with one man who woke up."

MARLENA: "Why are you telling me that story?"

JOHN: "Because that's how I feel when I'm with you Doc, awake, alive, and nothing and nobody on this earth makes me feel that way."

MARLENA: "Don't do this to me."

JOHN: "Now I know you want to go and I'm not gonna' stop you, but please, there is one thing I need to say, alright?"

Marlena waits to hear him finish.

JOHN: "You knew what I was going through when Isabella died. How I was walking around like a zombie, I was dead inside. That night on the plane when you and I made love...you gave me life again, Doc! And if nothing more comes out of this I just want to say 'Thank you'."

Marlena listens, torn between love and sorrow over his words, knowing she should go but not wanting to leave. Turning she gazes down and feels him coming to stand beside her...

JOHN: "If you want me to leave, I will."

He reaches to gently take her chin in his hand, turning her beautiful face towards him so that she must meet his eyes.

JOHN: "Is that what you want?"

She looks at him as he strokes her cheek, mesmerized but unable to speak.

JOHN: "I mean it, Doc. If you want me to leave, I'll walk out that door right now and as hard as it may be, I'll stay out of your life... If that's what you want."

JOHN: "Zen. As in Buddhism. It's very complicated, yet it's very simple at the same time. Like the story of the man who wanted to know who Buddha was. So he asked him, 'Are you a god?'

Why no Days today? Will tomorrow still be Cliffhanger Friday, or are we gonna be off a day now?!

This was a previously scheduled preemption because of the Olympics. Nothing will be 'off' at all, no worries. The only time the episodes are thrown off is when it's an unexpected preemption, like Obama speaks because of a news event.

Yes, this was scheduled. We have some preemptions coming up in May and June for the French Open tennis tournament (3 preemptions), but those are scheduled too, so they won't "throw off" the cliffhangers to another day either. The only ones that "throw off" the show are for unscheduled, breaking news reports.

For a fun fact, if you haven't visited my Days preemption page before, there have been 192 scheduled preemptions and 130 unscheduled special preemptions, for a total of 322 preemptions in Days history. The full list is here:
